Interpreting the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light

The Wi-Fi indicator light helps you determine the network status of the printer.

The following describes what the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light mean.

•Off may indicate that the printer is off, the printer is in the initial power-up state, the internal print server is not installed, or the internal print server is not properly connected.

The light should be in this state:

–When the printer is turned off

–When the printer is in power saver mode

–When the printer does not have an internal print server installed and you want to connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable

•Orange may indicate that the printer is being configured for use on the wireless network, the internal print server is not configured in infrastructure mode, or the internal print server is waiting to be configured for ad hoc mode.
